Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

Before Lin Qian and the others could walk over, a burst of cheers erupted in the middle of the river.

Lin Qian hurriedly picked up Maomao and walked forward a few steps. Sure enough, she saw a hole drilled through the thick ice.

After the hole was dug, the fish under the ice jumped out impatiently, bringing out the cold and biting water.

The people around picked up the bamboo baskets and started picking them up, and soon a basket was filled with fish.

"Wow! So many fish!" Maomao was so excited when she saw the fish jumping out of the ice that her little hands turned red.

After watching for a while, he raised his head and asked Lin Qian: "Sister, these big fish are so stupid. Why do they jump up on their own? Don't they know they will be eaten by us?"

Lin Qian knelt down and explained to him: "These fish need to breathe air just like us, but when the river freezes, there is less air in the water. The fish will feel uncomfortable if they stay under the ice and cannot breathe air."

"When the ice is broken, these fish will go to the hole to breathe fresh air, and then we see the fish break out of the water!"

Maomao seemed to understand, but Lin Qian didn't introduce anything to him about oxygen content.

When a child asks a question, no matter whether he can understand it or not, at least give him a serious answer, because your answer may plant a seed of knowledge in his young heart.

"Sister, I want to go over and touch the fish~" Maomao took Lin Qian's hand and walked forward.

"But it's a bit fishy!" Lin Qian followed Maomao and wondered helplessly whether she should buy fish when she returned to the village later. It would be troublesome to disembowel the fish after buying it.

After watching the big one and the small one walk away, the few people who had been standing not far from them and listened to the conversation between the two of them word for word began to speak.

They were all villagers from Heilingtun, but at this time of year they were all wearing fur hats and collars raised high. Lin Qian didn't pay attention, and naturally she didn't notice that Secretary Wang was among them.

"Secretary, the girls from this city are different. They talk in one way. We never thought that this was the case before."

"That's right, my daughter also asked me this question before. I said these fish were too cold in the river and wanted to come out to bask in the sun to keep warm."

"You made it up anyway. I slapped the back of my son's head and asked him something he couldn't answer. Didn't you want to see me make a fool of myself!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After hearing this, Secretary Wang couldn't laugh at all. He raised his hand to cover his forehead and sighed. Maybe this is the reason why there has not been a scholar in their Black Ridge Village for so many years.

After watching the excitement, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan took turns carrying Maomao back to Black Ridge Tun.

As Maomao gained weight, Lin Qian felt that her arm strength had also been fully exercised.

Baskets of big fish were transported back to the village's drying ground. Nature's gifts do not need to be exchanged for work points. These fish are directly divided according to the number of people in the village.

According to Aunt Dani, in previous years, each person had five big fish and a few small fish. Some families with a large population could make salted fish and eat it until summer.

Lin Qian and the others were still standing at the outermost edge, waiting for the villagers to take away the fish first.

I definitely have to buy fish, and for no other reason than a plate of "fish" is waiting to be put on the table for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Finally, after discussing it with Gao Xiaoan, the two decided that buying six would be enough.

"Doctor Gao, Secretary Wang asked you to go find him!" Xiao Xiao'e walked through the crowd, took Gao Xiao'an's hand and walked to the place where the fish was divided.

Lin Qian watched her leave with worried eyes, and involuntarily squeezed Maomao's hand. Will something happen over there?

Before Lin Qian could go over to inquire about the situation, Gao Xiaoan came back after a while, carrying a basket of fish in her hand.

Gao Xiaoan said to Lin Qian excitedly: "Secretary Wang told me that we will also be from Heilingtun in the future, so we will share the fish directly."

Lin Qian was naturally very happy. Giving money to buy it was not a problem, but Secretary Wang's generous approach made people feel comfortable.

And after seeing them sharing the fish this time, no one in the village whispered quietly. Instead, everyone looked at her with kind eyes.

This is the power of saving lives and healing the wounded. Lin Qian is even more determined to learn Chinese medicine well!

Just when Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan were about to go back with the basket of fish, Osmanthus came over with a small basin in their hands.

"Sissi, why don't you take some small fish back to dry? When you raise chickens in the future, you can chop up the dried fish and feed it to the hens, so that they will lay eggs very diligently!"

After Osmanthus finished speaking, she handed the small basin to Lin Qian to see. The little fish inside was as thick as a thumb, and there was no water in the basin. The little fish looked half-dead.

Isn’t this the raw material for crispy dried fish? Lin Qian swallowed.

"Go and get it quickly. If it's too late, it won't be available!"

Lin Qian trotted over and asked Aunt Dani to borrow a basin, and also put a small basin of fish back.

"Qian Qian, are you sure you want to eat small fish at night?" Gao Xiao'an asked uncertainly as he helped Lin Qian clean up the small fish.

After expending so much effort to disembowel it, the little fish didn’t seem to have much to eat.

Lin Qian gave Gao Xiaoan a trusting look.

After finishing all the small fish, Lin Qian poured a shallow layer of oil into the pot and began to fry the small fish.

Rather than frying them in deep-fried oil, she prefers to eat them fried, which saves fuel and is crispy.

The crispy dried fish with rice porridge performed well in the dinner and successfully conquered Gao Xiaoan and Maomao.

Gao Xiaoan said positively that he would also process the small fish kept in the bucket tomorrow and make crispy dried small fish and give a portion to his grandfather. He would definitely like this kind of snack.

When the Chinese New Year was still half a month away, Uncle Wang came over and invited them to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, but Gao Xiao'an declined with a smile.

In order to welcome the New Year, they spent several days cleaning the house inside and out.

The red paper had been prepared a long time ago, and Gao Xiaoanti wrote two couplets with his pen, one of which was given to Uncle Wang's house, which Aunt Dani had ordered in advance.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Wang posted the couplets.

According to the custom in Lin Qian's hometown, couplets are usually posted on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. Maybe this is due to differences in regional customs.

What Lin Qian and the others didn't expect was that the next day after New Year's Eve, someone came to ask for couplets, and they even prepared red paper and brought a few eggs.

Although Gao Xiaoan is not very familiar with the other party, he has been asking for help, so let’s write.

This writing was not completed until New Year's Eve. Lin Qian remembered many couplets in her mind and gave Gao Xiao'an many ideas.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Qian prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, braised fish, braised chicken with mushrooms, steamed pumpkin ribs...

They originally wanted to secretly pick up their grandparents and come to the house to celebrate the New Year, but they were sharply rejected by the two old people.

Lin Tianyou raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Qian angrily: "Have you and your mother been a little too unrestrained recently? The sports reform incident was so big before, and you forgot it so quickly?"

"Xiao'an is indeed irreplaceable in the village at present, but as long as he is discovered by one person and reported to the higher authorities, the current stable life will become a thing of the past. You don't naively think that the villagers of Heilingtun will protect you, right?"

Lin Qian shivered and lowered her head to listen to the instruction. Even Ye Shihua, who was always gentle and kind, did not stop her. Instead, she continued to say a few words.

So on New Year's Eve, the three of them fought hard over a table of delicious food.

"Cheers!" The three people clinked glasses with white porcelain cups, which contained not wine, but sweet frozen pear juice.

"I wish our days will get better and better and our life will be full of sunshine!"
